Sep. 20—BEMIDJI — Beltrami County is coordinating with the Small Business Administration and Minnesota Homeland Security and Emergency Management to conduct a damage survey to determine eligibility for the SBA loan program for residential and business properties affected by the June 21 severe storms.
To determine eligibility, Beltrami County and the City of Bemidji Emergency Management are collecting information on properties that sustained 40% non-insured damage to the fair market value of the property.
According to a release, potential eligible applicants include primary residential properties, businesses, apartments, mobile homes and home businesses.
An electronic survey is available on the Beltrami County website or by visiting
forms.co.beltrami.mn.us/June-21-2025-Storm-Damage-Report.
